Easy Pickled Beets Recipe
Okay, back to my Easy Pickled Beets. What I love most about this recipe is that you start with Libby's Cut Beets. This eliminates the time and mess of peeling and boiling beets. And, in my opinion, these easy pickled beets are equally tasty.
To begin, drain the juice from the beets then add them to a mason jar.
In a small saucepan, create the pickling juice by combining apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns and bay leaves. Bring that to a boil and cook for five minutes.
Lastly, put a lid on your jar and refrigerate the beets. They are pretty flavorful within an hour, but I recommend letting them sit at least overnight. For best results, refrigerate them a week before eating.
They will last about two months in your refrigerator, so if you make them now, you're set for the entire holiday season. Not that there will be any left by then!
You can enjoy these beets however you like: straight out of the jar, paired with a cheeseboard, served as a Thanksgiving side, or scattered on a salad. They are delicious, so I'm sure you'll find many ways to gobble them up.
Give this pickled beets recipe a try and let me know what you think. What are some of your favorite pickled vegetables? Are any of you fans of dilly beans? Let me know if I should share that recipe, too.
